ISB SPELLING BEE INTERNATIONAL -The Competition

ISB Spelling Bee International is a unique educational activity that combines education, fun and competition. It has been designed keeping in mind the inputs gained from the past so many years of organising spelling contests across the world. We have had feedback from thousands of school heads, teachers and students. These have all helped in creating a unique format for ISB Spelling Bee International. While it is competitive in nature, it also adds significant educational value to each student’s education.

ISB Spelling Bee International is also more inclusive, as students from all across the world can participate irrespective of country, board, medium of education or gender. We hope to even reach out to students in the smaller towns and cities, who may not have an opportunity to participate in such contests, generally.

ISB Spelling Bee International offers an opportunity to students of ages 5 to 14 to participate. All participants in ISB Spelling Bee International will be awarded Certificates of Participation.

There are three rounds in the competition:

• Preliminary Level
• National/Regional Level
• International Level

The participants who qualify the preliminary level exam will get a chance to participate at the national/regional level. The winners in this level will qualify for the International Championship of ISB Spelling Bee International.

ALL THE ROUNDS OF THIS CONTEST ARE FULLY ONLINE.

Participants will be sorted into 5 Groups based on their age.
All levels of the contest will be held group-wise.

Upon registration, each participant will receive a soft copy of that group's ISB Spelling Bee International Guide Book, which has more than a thousand words, practice exercises and sample papers, to prepare for the contest. They also get a soft copy of the book '1001 Most Commonly Misspelled Words' absolutely free of cost.

Participants are also entitled to 6 mock tests, which they can take before the preliminary level exam, to get familiar to the pattern of the exam. The participants will get to choose the dates for their mock tests.

The preliminary level examinations will be generally held on 1st Saturday of every alternate month, starting from August 2023 till April 2024. The participants can choose any one of the following dates:
